I’ve recently started using Opera Air and I genuinely love the UI. It feels cleaner and more cohesive than Opera One, and visually it’s a strong direction.

That said, I’ve noticed a couple of things during testing.

With only a single Google tab open and no other applications running, RAM usage spiked to around 1,400 MB. It didn’t appear to be a constant memory leak, more of a noticeable spike, but it was still higher than expected for such a light workload. Under similar conditions, Opera One seems to use less memory on my system.

I’ve also noticed a small theme inconsistency: when using dark mode, the right-click context menu appears in a light/white style instead of matching the dark theme. It’s a minor detail, but since Opera Air’s UI is clearly one of its strengths, consistency here would make it feel even more polished.

System details, if needed:
Windows version: Windows 11 64-bit 10.0.26200 Build 26200
Opera Air version: 127.0.5778.66
Hardware acceleration on

I’m sharing this because I really like where Opera Air is heading and I’d love to see the performance and polish match the visual quality.

Thanks.
